Hi,

I don't have the figure you are looking for, but I would advise being specific about whether you mean periodicals or newspapers on microfilm, because the newspapers cost a fortune. Perhaps NAPC www.napubco.com/ can help with a periodicals average price per reel, and Proquest UMI www.proquest.com/en-US/products/brands/pl_umi.shtml with newspapers.

Good luck,

Subject: [SERIALST] average cost of microfilm

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the average cost of a roll of journal microfilm.  Does anyone know a source for this information in 2009 (or relatively close) dollars?

Thanks!

Julia
